This value is given directly in form of table.
For 80kmph = 120m.
For 80kmph = 120m.

Longitudinal friction --------- 0.35 - 0.4.
Lateral friction --------------- 0.15.
Lateral friction --------------- 0.15.

SSD = 0.278Vt+V^2/254(f+S%).
= 0.278*80*2.5+80*80/254(.35).
= 127.6 mtr.
Cofficent of friction (f) = 0.35.
= 0.278*80*2.5+80*80/254(.35).
= 127.6 mtr.
Cofficent of friction (f) = 0.35.

0.28 * V.t + 0.01V^2/brake efficiency.
V = 80
t = 2.5
And We get exact ans 120.
V = 80
t = 2.5
And We get exact ans 120.

V is given in kmph convert to m
I.e 1000/60*60=0.278
Ssd=vt+{v2/2gf}
Where t is time required for understanding the situation this is a constant value.
Ssd=0.27*80*2.5+{(0.27*80)^2/(2*9.81*0.35)}
Ssd=121.6m.

We can predict because we have to calculate min SSD if take f= .15 we get more value but if we take f= .35 we get min value so we take f=.35.

How to predict the value of f in such cases?
